21. Brits and Americans don't speak the same language in the kitchen. [
NPR]
Hot, bothered and even a bit teary, I was at a complete loss. American mothers and their children could apparently turn out edible artworks by the dozen and here I was, failing at the first attempt to help my daughter feel at home in our new country.
I made a cup of tea (what else?) and looked at the recipe yet again.
There it was, at the top of the page: Makes 2 dozen biscuits.
And suddenly it dawned on me: Biscuits is the word Brits use for cookies!
I'm no chef, but I found this article quite amusing.
